What?! A caption contest?!

Hey! It's been a few minutes since we've run a caption contest. After I drew this, I didn't think the caption I had was very good. But as long as I have the drawing, I might as well throw this out to the greater mind of you, brilliant reader!

Drop a caption suggestion in the comments, message or email me, tell me to my face — whatever works for you.

There's a prize for the winning suggestion, so enter early and often!

Share your talents

This is one of my favorites ever. And it almost stayed a sketchbook!

You got the beat

There was a missionary I knew who did marching band in high school. Not only was a drum major, he also played the quads. He would drum on anything, all the time. In the MTC they taped him and his companion while they were teaching, and he saw just how much he was drumming and how distracting it was in the lesson. 

To his credit, he learned to control his drumming and became a focused and effective missionary. And he is still an awesome musician!

Light the World: Share your talents

"Interpret how you feel about Jesus Christ by creating art, a song, a poem or some other creative outlet, and share it with a friend or a loved one," is today's #LightTheWorld suggestion.

Just don't be obnoxious about it. :)

Sketchbook: And then she called for Silent Night

"Baby It's Cold Outside" isn't the only Christmas song getting shade thrown at it this year. "The Little Drummer Boy" seems to be getting dissed right and left as well.

As one sister in my ward put it, "Just what every tired mom wants to here while she's trying to put her baby to sleep — a drum solo!"

Which is probably why "Silent Night" is one of the most popular Christmas songs of all time.

Have a very merry Christmas!

A Christmas carol

I admit, there are some Christmas songs I just don't get. Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer is one, but that's another story. Anyway, they say that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Who hasn't been lulled to sleep by In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda?
